An office building for administrative purposes is also located on the site.

Site details

A high-level visioning exercise was undertaken in 2013. This exercise investigated site opportunities and constraints as well as high-level development proposals. At the time, the proposed vision for the property focused mainly on developing the site for residential purposes. This vision was supported by high-level specialist investigations focused only on development proposals and site limitations for the Western Cape Government Department of Transport and Public Works to consider should it wish to continue with the enablement of the site for this purpose.

In January 2020, the Department began a visioning exercise to further explore the 2013 proposals and obtain input from key stakeholders. This study included high-level specialist input and produced the following reports:

1. Property Due Diligence Report
2. Contextual Framework Report

Conceptual vision and key drivers for development

The Department of Transport and Public Works has appointed a multi-disciplinary team of built environment specialists to finalise an agreed updated vision for the site and draft a Precinct Plan. This process will include specialist investigation, as well as liaison with stakeholders and interested and affected parties (I&APs).

The current vision for the site includes redevelopment to accommodate an integrated sustainable mixture of uses, focused on precincts of redeveloped institutional facilities which are spatially integrated by means of a multi-purpose green/ movement system.

Key informants of this vision and future development of the site includes the existing significant tree lines, open spaces and undeveloped land portions; the surrounding residential areas and general lack of access for them to retail and mixed-use opportunities; limited access to the site; and restricted access through the site between the northern and southern portion of Stikland.
